Awesome! I grew up in San Diego but have never been to Fleet Week. Actually, this is the weekend we're moving back down there. Count me in (+1 of course)!

The drive down can be fun and this is a fun event to attend.

Lot's of cars, car related stuff, shirts, products, etc.

Bring ear plugs if you have them as some of the race cars can be quite loud.

Weather is usually perfect.

Dan <2

Anyone working on "parade laps" for us ?

Hey Lance,

We got parade laps due to SRT being a sponsor.

They aren't sponsoring this year as last.....unfortunately.

<2

Dan - I am going to miss the "not-so-parade" laps ..... it was more like a lead-follow.

Hey Dan - Any thoughts to doing the Cruise for Cure at the fairgrounds on Saturday and the Speedfest Sunday?

Hey Bruce,

Yes, part of the reason we are going to Coronado on Sunday.  We have a few members who wanted to go to Cruisin' for a Cure.

I'm not a big fan of the event (show up time is too early and it's a long day) but do support the cause.

Dan <2

Can't figure it out, but I just had the urge to post this image....  I don't know why?

Hey Doc,

I hope the urge is gone.

arturo

not sure, I am fighting it but it may happen again.

Dan

I've got corral passes.  Just call me at the shop (619-299-9367) or on my cell, (619-977-1265).

Randy Begin
Mission Hills Automotive

I'll be there Friday through Sunday running my Red Lobster GTP in group 6. Come say hello.

Thinking of taking  my son Trevor (he joined the Navy).  Is the group on our own once we get there?  General admission or V I P what is the conscious ?  And when does it more of less wrap up?

Glenn................

Yes, after breakfast and the cruise to the base, we park together and then are on our own the entire day.

General Admission is the ticket.

Wraps up any time you want. 

We normally walk around for a few hours in the morning checking out the cool cars, watch a couple of races, eat lunch and head home.

Dan

I'm planning on shooting down on Sunday.  David said I can take his Lobster for a spin one session, what a great guy he is!

  Trevor and I are down for this one. 


  Glenn.................. ^3 GO NAVY!

Last time at Coronado I let him grid the car, and he did, but pointing the wrong way. And he wasn't trying to be funny.

I'm in!   ^2. I haven't been before so I'm looking forward to it.

one little mistake and you're gonna hold that against me for the rest of my life......

Personally, I never knew a vette could make me so nervous. 

Please sign Kiki and I up as well.

I never miss this event! Will meet you guys at Ruby's Diner before driving down there 'en masse' (that's a lot of fun too).

Barry Noar

haven't been able to go to many events this year - we'll make this one... and Cruisin for a Cure the day before. put us down for:
Darryl & Dianne

Count me +1 in as well. See you guys at breakfast.

Going to have to clean the car up its disgusting.

I'll be there for breakfast and the event.  I get in for free can I still get in the corral?

We should have enough Corral Passes for everyone.

Count me in!  I just bought 2 tickets; I am bringing my brother-in-law (Charger owner, trying to convince him to upgrade).  I will see everybody at 6:45am at Shady Canyon Starbucks.

Curt Dose is in with FLY'G LOW, plus a passenger! Fun event.

Hey Curt, I saw your Viper looking good at Randy's garage today. I brought my '08 in for fluids and track prep.

Dan, I am planning on meeting everyone at the Festival.  Can I get a corral pass from you when you get there?  If I need it before I go in, then I'll have to wait somewhere.  Or, if it's too much of a pain, I'll just go to Ruby's Diner.  Let me know what you think.

Brent   <2

I'd suggest you meet us at Rubys and have breakfast.

Dan

Craig AND Dolly will be there!  <2

OK, See you at Ruby's.  >q

We will be leaving at Five A.M.  Hopefully all the L.A. Saturday night special people will be home asleep.
If we are late please order for us at Ruby's.  Trevor will have Waffles, Pancakes, both with whip cream and butter.
Two orders of bacon and three glasses of O/J.  I will have the oatmeal with blueberries and a decaffeinated  tea.

Glenn.............. <J

I'm in guys :).
Bat

[email protected]

lets try this one more time, lets leave them up for the guys to enjoy,come on, what does it hurt. we are viper guys are we not, fast and hard.

SORRY - THIS A VERY "G" RATED SITE AND NOT APPROPRIATE

So Cal Viper Website Moderator

I was there helping Malloy and the boys. It was good seeing some of you. I don't have any hood beef pictures like Travis...... >o

No beef, just DA's lobster.......... >v

Too bad the Lobster got boiled and dipt in butter.  We were rooting for him =15

Thanks. On Saturday morning I earned timed pole(even faster than Malloy, a great guy). The clutch went, so my mechanic and Randy Begin, volunteer mechanic thrashed for 6 hours to rip the car apart and get it ready. Huge thanks Randy! He was smiling like a guy on a date with a supermodel. I missed the qualifying race Sat afternoon.

Sunday they started me at the back of the grid. It wasn't feeling quite right, but I was passing by the handful. It started clunking and sliding so I took it in, to find a broken side plate on the tranny, and a loose half shaft. My car is sprung at 2200 lbs/inch because of the downforce. On the huge surface transitions it was getting air, and having massive driveline loads when the slicks hit. That's racing.
